About Femi
Counsellor Femi Carty is a BACP member with four years' experience. He works with people on relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain, depression, anxiety and stress, plus addiction and trauma-related issues. He also helps with intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem and career questions. Sessions are offered in English and he sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Femi uses an integrative approach. That means he draws on several ways of working to suit what each person brings. He describes the first session as an assessment where he asks about your mental health and why you are seeking counselling. Together you then plan what to focus on in future sessions.
In practice he combines person-centred listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioural work and attachment-focused ideas. He also uses emotionally focused and Jungian concepts when these fit the issues presented. The emphasis is on talking through thoughts, feelings and behaviours and finding practical steps to try between sessions.
Femi offers telephone sessions throughout the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time. He asks people to confirm the exact session options before booking. Payment uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location.
People who contact him begin by completing a short matching questionnaire. After that they schedule a first session where assessment and planning take place. This gives a clear starting point and agreed goals for the work ahead.
How his approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating to others. It looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and can help with trust, abandonment concerns and attachment issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing and supports the client to find their own understanding and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is practical and focused on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often involves short exercises to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, depression and stress.Finding the right approach is something to work on together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. That discussion then guides which methods to use and how sessions are planned, so the work feels collaborative rather than imposed.
Session arrangements should be checked before booking so you know what is offered at the time. His practice includes telephone sessions during the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time, which can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments. Telephone sessions can be simpler when video is not needed, while video allows face-to-face discussion in the evening. Ask about formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical arrangements match your needs.
